Yea that was a Z28 Convertible, LT1 (94-97) 275-285 HP depending on year and like 335 ft/lbs at 3k rpm or so (i had a 97 Trans am)

They typically run 13.9-14.5 and for a convertible it has more weight.

Launch looks ok but you need to launch higher. That one race aganst the ford lightning your launch was 3k and it dropped down to 2.5k. Major loss in power there. I'd say the best launch was the first run aganst the Z28.

You aren't takin your foot off the gas at all on the launch are you? Your shifts look good. I dunno what to say

Edit: I'd say take that vorando tornado thing out. Then buy a CAI or wait for the ice box. It is possible (really doubt it tho) that the intake is messing it up.
